Good day, people of Hive! Welcome to my blog. Today’s topic is from Hive Student Connect which says:Education and Workload. So let’s dive in.
Honestly, education is a good thing, and we all know that. Many people pray and hope to gain admission into higher institutions because of how important education is. That reminds me of before I gained admission into school. I was still living with my late grandma then. Whenever my eldest cousin had holidays and came back home, I always envied her, especially when she complained about how school was not easy at all and how she was fed up. But in my mind, I always said, one day I will also gain admission into the university, no matter how people complain that university is not easy. But when I finally gained admission, I began to see the real side of it.
It is not just about reading and resting. I was not told that there would be projects, presentations, and a lot of pressure in school. There are always assignments, group work, presentations, and deadlines for almost everything. And let’s not forget the pressure. The workload can be too much sometimes. And the truth is, our personal life is still there.
Before I gained admission, I had everything planned. I told myself I would be very serious. Although I am still serious, it is not like before because of school pressure and workload. The funny part is that the only thing that can make me miss lectures is if I am not feeling well. If not for that, I never miss lectures because I do not joke with my studies. That is the main reason I am in school. I always make sure to keep pushing myself when it comes to school matters because I tell myself that workload is part of education.
I remember one day I sat on my bed with my book open in front of me. I wanted to read, but my body and brain were tired because I had stressed myself too much that day. I could not even understand what I was reading. I kept reading the same line repeatedly, and at the same time, I was feeling sleepy. I tried to force myself like I usually do, but it was not working. That day, I realized that I needed to rest sometimes. And right now, the pressure is even more.
Since last week, we started our tests. And from this week, we have been having back-to-back tests. I did one test on Monday, Tuesday, another one today, and tomorrow I am having another test and a presentation.
Next week again, I still have more tests. Not only that, I also have two more presentations next week. And those are not the only presentations I am doing this semester. I am also working on my project. Everything is just jam-packed, and the pressure is getting too high. For now, that is what I am facing together with my remaining tests. It is not easy at all.
In conclusion, workload is part of education, but we just need to learn how to balance it well and also give ourselves time to rest because our body is not a machine.
